The title of Poor Bambi’s “Skyscrapers Soaring, Yet We’re Drowning” is a statement in itself. The menacing tone of the song has an element of triumph in it as well. The caustic yet melodic guitar and commanding vocals give weight to the lyrics that seem to spell out the unsustainability of an egregiously unequal economic system and society. When most people are crushed under by the prevailing order what can support the elites? It is a systemic failure waiting to happen and the song almost seems to celebrate that inevitability. Stylistically the song seems to draw some sonic inspiration from symphonic metal but channeled through a more punk sensibility for a unique post-punk sound.
